    Sounds like you're doing all the right things. Might not be bad to call the NRA just to see if they have any additional advice. Good luck and enjoy - I'm jealous!

    Just a caution on that. Choose targets that deflect the bullet down. Sending a ricochet upwards could be real bad. Have fun!!!

    I've seen ranges about that size with large dirt embankment for the backstop. I think you will be real happy with it. I shoot out of my barn occasionally into a much smaller dirt embankment We are only supposed to shoot shotguns now that I've been annexed into the jerkwater little town down the road, but I think shooting from inside the barn diffuses the noise enough that it sounds farther away to the neighbors down the road. No one's called in on me anyway. I bet you enjoy the heck out of your new setup. Congratulations.

    HY*NDAI is to cars, what Caracal, Hi-Point, and Jennings is to handguns. The cars may or may not run ok, but the corporation SUCKS.

    You're living my plans. I'm looking at about 3-4 years and having the same thing. Then i build a little place and hopefully sell the house in the city limits (Just have to get the wife to agree to sell.)
    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???
